Job description

Our vision for the future is based on the idea that transforming financial lives starts by giving our people the freedom to transform their own. We have a flexible work environment, and fluid career paths. We not only encourage but celebrate internal mobility. We also recognize the importance of purpose, well-being, and work-life balance. Within Empower and our communities, we work hard to create a welcoming and inclusive environment, and our associates dedicate thousands of hours to volunteering for causes that matter most to them. Chart your own path and grow your career while helping more customers achieve financial freedom. Empower Yourself. Applicants must be authorized to work for any employer in the U.S. We are unable to sponsor or take over sponsorship of an employment visa at this time, including CPT/OPT.

What You Will Do

Partner directly with business and product partners to understand objectives, identify reporting needs, clarify ambiguous requests, and translate business problems into actionable analytics solutions. Lead the design and development of new reporting, dashboards, and analytics for products and business areas where established reporting and processes may not yet exist. Write and troubleshoot complex SQL to gather, integrate, analyze, and validate data from multiple systems and sources, including platforms such as Redshift, Salesforce, and other enterprise systems. Build and enhance dashboards and reporting solutions using business intelligence and visualization tools such as Amazon QuickSight, Tableau, Power BI, or similar platforms. Evaluate stakeholder requests, ask probing questions, challenge assumptions when appropriate, and recommend the most effective analytical or reporting solution based on the underlying business need. Own analytical initiatives end to end, from requirements discovery and data sourcing through solution design, development, implementation, validation, and stakeholder communication. Develop reporting and analytics that help business teams identify opportunities within the workplace participant population, support engagement activities, and measure results and business outcomes. Establish scalable reporting processes, data definitions, analytical approaches, and best practices that support newer products as they mature and strengthen overall analytics capabilities. Collaborate across business and technology teams to improve data availability, reporting processes, workflows, and automation while balancing priorities across multiple products and stakeholders. Serve as a subject matter resource and primary analytics owner for assigned products or reporting areas, providing recommendations to senior stakeholders and contributing to broader team standards and future capabilities.

• Demonstrated experience gathering, integrating, analyzing, and validating data from multiple disparate sources.
• Experience developing dashboards, reporting, or business intelligence solutions using tools such as Amazon QuickSight, Tableau, Power BI, or similar platforms.
• Strong experience working directly with business stakeholders to discover requirements, clarify business objectives, and translate needs into analytical solutions.
• Demonstrated ability to work independently when requirements are incomplete or evolving and determine the appropriate path forward without highly prescriptive direction.
• Experience owning analytics or reporting solutions from initial concept and requirements discovery through development, implementation, validation, and delivery.
• Strong problem-solving, communication, and consultative skills with the ability to explain data, recommendations, and tradeoffs to both technical and non-technical audiences.
• Ability to manage multiple priorities across business and technology teams while maintaining a hands-on, curious, and solution-oriented approach.

What Will Set You Apart

• Experience building reporting, dashboards, or analytics capabilities from the ground up.

• Strong consultative skills with the ability to make recommendations in real time and influence business partners toward the most effective analytical solution.
• Python or other programming experience that could expand the team’s analytics and automation capabilities.
